Family members and authorities in Boundary County are urgently seeking the public’s help in locating twin sisters Kiya and Arianna Eliassen, who were reported missing in the early morning hours of July 6, 2026. The disappearance of the young girls has raised serious concern within the community as search efforts continue to expand.
According to reports, the twins were last seen near Copeland Road. They were described as wearing brown sweaters and pajama-style pants, and are believed to be carrying a pink backpack. Both girls are blonde, approximately 4 feet 2 inches tall, and weigh around 85 pounds each.
Authorities have indicated that this is not the first time the sisters have left home, but officials and family members stress that speculation about the reasons behind their disappearance is not helpful. Instead, the focus remains on safely locating the girls and bringing them home.
Search efforts are currently underway with multiple resources being deployed. Law enforcement officers, volunteers, and community members are working together to cover as much ground as possible in and around the rural areas of Boundary County.
The family is asking residents in the area to thoroughly check their surroundings, including outbuildings, barns, campers, trail camps, vehicles, and any locations where the girls could potentially seek shelter. They are also encouraging people to review any available security or Ring camera footage that may provide clues about the twins’ movements.
In addition, community members willing to assist are encouraged to go door-to-door to help spread awareness, particularly in areas where internet access may be limited and residents may not yet know about the situation.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Kiya and Arianna Eliassen’s whereabouts to contact the Boundary County Sheriff’s Office immediately at (208) 267-3151 (press 0) or call 911. Even the smallest detail could prove critical in helping locate the missing sisters.
As the search continues, the community remains hopeful for their safe return. Family, friends, and concerned residents are united in their efforts, holding onto hope that the twins will be found quickly and brought back home safely.
